After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Her mother's family has a nephew, who is also a son from the Zhou family. She is very capable and has not yet mentioned a kiss, but she fell in love with Jiang Hexi.
However, Jiang Hexi neither wanted to offend Mrs. Zhou nor wanted to get married, so he must have refused in a tactful manner.
And even if he wants to get married, he will definitely not be able to marry Zhou Pozi's family. After all, Jiang Hexi doesn't want his descendants to be slaves.
After talking to Jiang Hexi for a while, the maid next to Mrs. Zhou also brought tea.
That’s right, as the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, Zhou Ma Zi also has a maid to serve her.
Moreover, when Mrs. Zhou saw Jiang Hexi, she liked it and wanted to be a matchmaker for her parents' nephew, so she was determined to show off.
This tea is also good, it is a rare spring tea before the Ming Dynasty in West Lake. After pinching the tenderest tea leaves in Chuner, it is also a very rare and good tea.
As expected, it is easy to enjoy the cool air with a big tree. The wealthy family's managers are actually servants. The daily life is better than that of the countryside's families who cannot eat enough food, and they can only sell their children and daughters in the disaster year.
After eating tea for a while, Butler Zhou came back.
"Girl Hexi, the master is waiting for you in the study, please follow me."
"yes!".
Jiang Hexi followed Butler Zhou out of the door and walked towards Zhou Changsu's study.
The Zhou Mansion is extremely large. The inner mansion not only has a small lake, but also a rockery garden, carved railings and corridors.
After walking around the corridor for a while, soon, we arrived at a plum blossom forest. The red plum blossoms had buds covered with a thin layer of snow. There was a faint fragrance floating, making people feel a little elegant for no reason.
Come.
In the plum blossom forest, on such a cold winter, someone was playing the piano. I saw a slim woman with white skin, with a light face, wearing a snow-white cloak, playing a sad tone in the pavilion.
Jiang Hexi took a look in surprise and ignored it.
I remember that in my previous life, she had heard rumors about Mr. Zhou. It was rumored that Mr. Zhou Changsu, the local emperor in the entire northern region, had countless confidants, but he was the most romantic.
However, for some reason, there has been no news of Zhou Changsu getting married.
Butler Zhou followed Jiang Hexi's gaze and sighed, "That's Miss Wan! The Wan family is one of the local clans. Since they met the master, they have been determined to marry into the Zhou Mansion."
Jiang Hexi's eyes flashed and said, "Is Mr. Zhou going to get married?"
"I haven't heard from the master."
The two of them had already passed through the Red Plum Forest while talking.
Not far from the Hongmeilin is Zhou Changsu's study.
At the door of the study room, Zhou Changsu's personal book Tong was guarding the door. When he saw Butler Zhou coming, Shutong greeted Butler Zhou and said hurried to Zhou Changsu in the inner room, "Master, Butler Zhou is here!"
Zhou Changsu said, "Let him bring people in."
"Yes, Master!"
The door of the study room was opened, behind a precious green bamboo screen, Zhou Changsu crossed his legs and wrote quickly in front of the small table in front of him, and a pile of account books were piled up on his left. It was obvious that Zhou Changsu was
Check the accounts.
Seeing that Butler Zhou led Jiang Hexi into the house, Zhou Changsu rubbed his brows and said with a gentle expression, "What's wrong with Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Hexi said, "Master, I have made a down jacket recently, which is very warm. I'll give it to the master."
Zhou Changsu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Down jacket?"
Butler Zhou, who was standing beside him, showed a happy smile and said, "Master, you must have never seen a down jacket. This down jacket is so warm. You can't bear to take it off after wearing it. It is not only thinner than the skin, but also warmer than the skin.
, Look, I'm wearing a down jacket!"
Seeing the housekeeper Zhou dancing, Zhou Changsu said, "Take it up and let me see?"
Jiang Hexi is a man with a good face, and when he was thinking, he showed a bright smile, spread the down jacket and handed it to Zhou Changsu, saying, "Master Zhou, try it. This is made by me by myself, and I don't know if it's right or wrong with Master Zhou."
body.”
Zhou Changsu looked up and immediately saw the girl's smiling face. The dimples on her face were faintly visible, making people think of the pear blossoms blooming in early spring for no reason!
It’s really a pear blossom smile, bright eyes and white teeth!
Zhou Changsu's eyes paused, and his eyes subconsciously moved down. When he saw the girl's snow-white and slender neck different from the face, he looked at the delicate and shiny skin color exposed under his neck, and couldn't help but breathe tightly.
Zhou Changsu thought to himself that he must have not wanted a woman for too long.
He tried hard to restrain himself, so he did not let himself make a fool of himself.
On the side, Jiang Hexi deliberately approached her, as if he didn't notice any abnormality at all, and said, "Master, stretch your arms!"
He paused for a moment, and said with a sweet look, "Master, if you don't stretch your arms, how can I dress you?"
"Yeah!" He heard this and his eyes were deep and he looked at her with a scrutiny, but when he saw the mother and baby who were dressing him seriously, he had to stretch out his arm as he spoke.
However, because Zhou Changsu was so tall, Jiang Hexi could only put on his toes before he could dress him.
A "accidentally", his body seemed to stagger, and it fell into his chest immediately. The little boy's pink fist gently hit his chest, as if he was itchy.
The girl's unique body fragrance came to her nose, surrounded by cold fragrance, as if his cold blood had been rubbed into a wrap around her fingers, and the tip of her heart suddenly softened.
After he realized it, he put a loose dress on his long gown. The clothes were so warm and light that it seemed to be covered with down on his body.
“Huh? Down?”
"Mr. Zhou, you are so smart! That's right, the down jacket is stuffed into the mezzanine layer, and the softest part of the animal's feathers are sewn. When worn on the body, it will look like an animal wearing a layer of feathers.
”
Butler Zhou also said on the side, "Master, animals like chickens and ducks, don't look like us humans in winter. They need to wear a layer of clothes. They can survive the winter with just down. It's also the cleverness of Miss Jiang.
Only by doing such a warm ingenious idea.”
Zhou Changsu wrapped the down jacket tightly and felt the benefits of the down jacket more and more.
He calmed down and tried to drive out the beauty in his mind. In the end, his whole body became more and more cold and inaccessible.
"This dress is really good!" He thought of it and thought of something else.
If such clothes are sold all over the country, how much money will they make?
As a qualified businessman, Zhou Changsu is extremely sensitive to business opportunities, and he immediately discovered the business opportunities contained in down jackets.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Miss Jiang, can you sell the recipe for your down jacket?"
Jiang Hexi showed a bright smile and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, saying, "Mr. Zhou, this is the recipe for making down jackets. If you like it, just take it away. There is no need to tell me what to buy or not.
That's it!"
"That won't work. Trading is a deal. I can't ask for your recipe directly!"
Jiang Hexi said, "Master, you don't have to be so clear!", paused, and said, "If you really feel that you must pay something, then I'll ask you to hire a master and teach me.
Let’s recognize a few words with my brother and learn some fist and foot skills!”
Born in a place like the border, you will encounter horse thieves, Liao people and others who disturb the people all year round. If you have the chance, who doesn’t want to learn a lot of boxing and kicking skills?
Zhou Changsu was a little surprised when he heard this.
"You want to learn boxing and kicking skills?"
"Yes! A few days ago, there were horse thieves coming to our village. After a few days, it would be even colder. I still don't know if the Liao people are back to harass and loot. If I know some punching skills, I can at least have one more
guarantee.”
Zhou Changsu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll let Monday teach you martial arts. As for literacy, I know a little on Monday, so you can learn it first."
"Thank you Mr. Zhou!"
Zhou Changsu pondered for a moment and said, "Do you really don't regret it? You know, the recipe for your down jacket can make a lot of money. If you exchange it for gold and silver, you can protect your family's wealth for the rest of your life."
Jiang Hexi lowered his eyebrows and eyes, his eyelashes trembled, and his long eyelashes seemed to flashing butterfly wings, whispered, "A commoner like us will never leave Yucheng in our lifetime. Even if we have gold and silver, who can guarantee that we can defend it.
Where? I will not regret it when Xiaofu is safe."
After pausing, he said, "By the way, Master, I have purchased a lot of feathers this year and have asked the villagers to buy ready-made clothes. Although Fangzi exchanged it with Master, I have to wait until I sell this year's down jacket.
I won’t do this business, please let the master know!”
Zhou Changsu said, "This is what you should do. If you keep doing it with confidence, even if you make a lot of down jackets in the coming year, it will not hinder it. Just sell them, but you can't maliciously bid with my business."
“That’s for sure.”
As she spoke, she smiled brightly.
"Thank you, sir!"
Master Zhou looked at her in her prime, and listened to her "master" and felt for no reason that she had become an old man. A feeling that she didn't know suddenly surged into her heart that she didn't know.
Until Jiang Hexi left, Mr. Zhou still didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After Jiang Hexi left, Zhou Changsu unfolded his clothes and looked at it. When he found the messy stitches, he was stunned for a while again.
Butler Zhou, who was standing beside him, coughed and said, "Master, although the stitching is not good, it is Miss Jiang's intention. If Miss Jiang gets a good thing, she will give it to her as soon as possible."
"Um!"
Seeing that Zhou Changsu looked cold, Housekeeper Zhou didn't dare to say anything more, so he lowered his head and walked out.
After Zhou Changsu and others left, he sat alone on the kang, but he couldn't help but think of that delicate call in his ears.
"Master, open your arms!"
That night, Zhou Changsu suffered from insomnia.
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time.
I waited late at night and fell asleep in a daze. In my dream, the sound of the cry of him stretching out his arms kept ringing in my ears.
